KYIV, Ukraine — Elon Musk said on Saturday that his company SpaceX had throttled the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine, disrupting operations that the country relies on to defend itself against Russia. Musk’s admission on social media came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s access to Starlink and Starshield satellite links has been restored to the speeds it had before restrictions that disrupted front-line operations for more than a week. Questions have persisted since last week about who ordered the interruptions to the Musk-made satellite internet system that Kyiv has relied on for years to counter Moscow’s attacks. “The speeds are now where they need to be,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, adding that restoration began overnight and were sufficient by Saturday morning, improving front-line logistics and defense against Russian jet-powered Shahed drones. Musk admits he was behind Starlink’s speed restrictionAfter Ukraine said the services had been restored, Elon Musk spoke out on the speed restrictions that began last week. In a post Saturday on X, Musk acknowledged that his company SpaceX throttled the Starlink satellite internet service.

Published: October 24, 2026 at 10:20a.m. EDTCanada’s parliamentary budget officer is raising concerns over Canada’s debt levels, with the federal government set to table its budget in a little over a week. The PBO released her latest economic forecast on Tuesday, which is projecting slower growth in the country’s real GDP forecast, and laying the blame at the feet of the U. S. tariff war on Canada. The outlook also spells trouble for the federal government’s debt, and the cost of servicing that debt, projecting a growing debt-to-GDP ratio in the coming years. Declining deficit-to-GDP ratio is one of the federal government’s fiscal anchors.
